Redirecting to a keyword-rich domain URL

[Amjath]

It's best practice to choose a domain that has keyword in it.

But if someone has just launched a website and the domain name does not have keyword, is it better to purchase a new domain name that has a keyword in the name and redirect existing domain to the new domain? Will that help SEO?

(This just launched website does not have any traffic or links yet.)

Yes, the current domain name has brand name in it and people already recongnize the brand  hence they don't want to change the domain name. I am wondering if redirect from current domain to a new domain help SEO or detoriate user experienc and /link profiles going forward.

Will check out following video.
